Reduced Rate for People with Disabilities

People who are under 65 years old and who have a Medicare card are eligible to ride at the reduced rate of .85. COLTS encourages you to fill out an application for the Reduced Fare ID card. Please have your Medicare card and a form of ID with you when you fill out the application. Please note that Medical Assistance is not Medicare.

People with disabilities, as defined by the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990, may be eligible for a Reduced Fare ID Card. You can obtain an application at COLTS, or call 346-2061 for more information. A disability, as defined by the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990, is "a

People with disabilities can fill out an application and have it signed by a physician or authorized agency certifying one or more of the following:

The person cannot negotiate a flight of stairs or escalator with ease, reasonable speed and/or aid from another person.

The person cannot board or leave a transit vehicle with ease, reasonable speed and/or aid from another person.
